Rwanda: gorillas and history

When I was a kid, I always liked mountain gorillas, because I knew countries like Rwanda or Democratic Republic of the Congo. Today I will tell about Rwanda, this is small country located in central África, it has 12 millon inhabitants, compound of the Hutus (majory), Tutsi and Twa ethnic. Although their native language is Kinyarwanda, he also speaks English.

The country was known on the planet for the genocide executed by the Hutu ethnic group against the Tutsi, in complicity with the government.

If I were to go rwanda in the future, the first thing I visit would be the mountain gorillas in the volcanoes national park, staying many days trying to find them in the jungles. This is where Dian Fossey (my heroine) studied and protected the gorillas, before she was killed. Then I would go to see the chimpanzee at the Nyungwe Forest National Park.

Finally I would visited at the Ethnographic Museum in the Kigali (capital), but especially The Kigali Genocide Memorial, to pay my respects to the nearly one million people who have killed.

    I had heard a couple of times about Rwanda but did not know anything specific. It must be a wonderful and unique experience to live with gorillas and chimpanzees.

    very interesting, the truth is that I had heard about Rwanda but did not know much about the place, how terrible about the genocide, I think it would be very interesting to know the place and the gorillas in the mountains too jajaja

I introduce myself to everyone

Hello, my name is Eduardo Milla, I am from Puente Alto. I was born in Santiago on January 17. I studied my basic and secondary cycle near my house in Puente Alto. I also studied a technical career in ecotourism and I was in the military for two years.  I work as a park ranger, mountain rescuer and environmental education guide. I am not close to my family, although I currently live with my mother. And I do not wish to have children. I like to do gardening and recognition of wild plants and animals. I go hiking and camping, but I also like to jog and walk long distances.

A foreboding photo

  This photo is very special to me, it is me and a neighbor who took care of me while my parents worked. I don't remember what year it was, but I was about 10 years old and it was snowing in Santiago, I remember that I had a lot of fun that day and I played with my friends from the neighborhood, we threw snow and we were very wet. The bad thing is that my mom kept me warm and she hated wearing boots.  Years after that photo, when my neighbor got married, she had two daughters, her first-born was Emilia, for many reasons I had to take care of her from 6 months to approximately 5 years. It was a completely new experience for me, I learned how to change diapers, cook and feed her baby and we played all day until her parents came to pick her up in the afternoon. Today Emilia is cared for by my mother, that's why I see her almost every day, she is very close to me and we always plan outings to nature. Ironically, last year we went to the snow and played like when Emilia's moth

Changes to my study program

I am in the second year of my degree, so it is difficult for me to know how to change my program of study. First because I lack a lot of knowledge of the subject and second because in a society where only market education predominates, it is necessary to change something more fundamental. Now if I could change the curriculum, I think that I should leave only one year of common cycle of the three mentions, since now they give more emphasis to social anthropology, besides that each mention has a lot of content to be studied and if you start before better, of course it is also ideal that students can in some courses work in an interdisciplinary way. I would like the curriculum to be more flexible, as it happens in other countries where after some basic courses, there are a variety of elective courses that complete your years of study, but according to the area of work you want for your future. Regarding the study load, I think it is fine in general, only I would evaluate some credits that
